[XMR] Monero Speculation

[cAPSLOCK]

Seems to me Monero's price action is often erratic and irrational.  I think there are two reasons for this:

1.  It is still a thinly traded market.  Even as one of the more used crypto projects it still is not traded like bitcoin, quite yet.  So whales and manipulators can yank it around more.

2.  "Paper Monero" is a thing.  Because of Monero's inscrutability it is easier for exchanges to play games.  We can see what Bitfinex holds in their Bitcoin wallets.  So we can see if they are allowing naked shorting.  This is NOT TRUE with monero where naked shorting may  be a nasty side effect of its killer feature.

That said...  Monero is clearly painting an intweresting chart, with an ascending broadening triangle.  This is usually a bearish pattern which will often break down.  But I have a feeling Monero is trying pretty hard right here to brek up again like it did a week or so ago...  Another "advantage" of the thinly traded market is the reliability of chart patterns it not really that good.  So we could see this predicted outcome be invalidated by an aggressive move up.  Sure seems like it wants to.

Is that the 4hour chart?

Is that the 4hour chart?

Those are 6 hour candles.

Well then... we busted up.

6h



So seems to me the clear next resistance line that has seen action for over a full year is ~ 0.0054 ish.

As I would see it, monero has during all its trade history been a rangebound coin. Almost certain Rpitila has every one of the numbers to do this in the event that he hasn't done as such as of now. The assets of the previous gathering are monitored, while the assets of the last option bunch are scattered because of misfortunes by blackmail, burglary, and misrepresentation.

I am not sure why you are mentioning Pietilä. He died few years ago.

Do you have a source for this? Not questioning what you're saying but would be interested in knowing what happened.


Long time since I've been here. Had a few drinks tonight and got to thinking.

Does anyone remember the handle of the guy who used to post here many years ago - he was a little crazy but clearly very clever. His health was bad and I had a feeling he lived in Asia. He knew a lot about Monero. Had plans for creating his own currency but they never worked out. Used to argue with ArticMine a lot. His handle was something to do with War/Revolution/Big Brother. I can't remember.

Any ideas? Between him and rpietila it was a wild time.

THE MONERO MOON (ISSUE 34) IS OUT NOW!

Grab a coffee or a beer and kick back for a read. Like, share, and spread the word of Monero as it continues to grow and offer unmatched financial privacy.

Last id seen he went and made a website @ a site levels.fi or something, continued on ever forward with .. whatever it was he was on about. Then i tuned out from that for a while and the last id seen was involved in a head on collision. There was a few stories on it you might have to search on finnish google for it to show up though gl.

I remember seeing the news  about the car crash leading to his death in Finnish media at the time, but I couldn't find the news article anymore. Finnish wiki page also states that he died on 14.8.2020. His FB page was always (still is) public too and there is an "in memoriam" message.

I found a news article (in Finnish) which is supposedly about the events leading to the accident. However I don't know if it is truly about Pietilä's case since no name is mentioned. Google translated news article below:

I never met or chatted with rpietali (Risto Pietilä), but I did read quite a bit about his crypto-journey.

If you are interested in rpietila's story, here's an obituary written by Risto's long time friend and a business associate.

It's in Finnish, but Google-translate does a decent job if you just ctrl+c & ctrl+v.

Thanks! Very interesting reading.

There are quite a few rumblings out there now about "Privacy". 

There is a notable possibility that Privacy might see a very sharp rise in demand as we move into a world in which a lack of privacy is allowing us to be controlled.

Sprinkle a little hype about in the form of something like "privacy season" or some such silly business?

Weeeeeee.

I periodically check this thread and saw a couple comments regarding Risto (rpietila). This is somewhat off topic, but I'd like for someone to do something with this Crypto Kingdom (CK) stuff. I know it wasn't handled properly from a crypto standpoint, but this was essentially one of the first semi-complicated crypto-connected games that I'm aware of. If Risto had tied the assets into ERC-20 or something, maybe we'd be talking about CKPunks instead of CryptoPunks all over the financial news...

If anyone is interested, I would like to sell the following domains related to CK:

cryptokingdom.me
cryptokingdom.com
cryptokingdom.gold

The .me domain was the original one Risto used, and I had to acquire the .com on the secondary market since he didn't think to register it when he started the project.

Additionally, I am willing to sell the complete game database and source code. The code is nothing fancy at all. Actually you'll be shocked at how bad it is considering how much Risto spent on it. But someone could possibly use the database and historic price data to create NFTs or a reboot or something. I mean there are some insane levels of "proof of burn" or "proof of value" to Crypto Kingdom items, considering items as pointless as unicorns went for 1000+ XMR in the past.

The database also has user email and account information, so if you wanted to airdrop assets to old users, it is possible for those that included a way to recover their accounts.

Please contact me via direct message if interested.

My thoughts on this matter from 7 years ago.  For a while I felt like I was one of the only folks not "playing".  Maybe I missed out on Risto spewing a lot of money... dunno.  But I never wanted to touch the damn thing with a 10ft pole.  These thoughts were exchanged with another forum member at the time.  He agreed that it was not really a positive direction for the "community" at the time.  But of course Monero did not give a crap what we were all doing.

I noticed the positive trend on XMR/BTC over the past couple of months as BTC has stagnated in a narrow range.

Agreed.  And though I am certainly extremely biased Monero is STILL one of the most undervalued coins out there.  It is incorrectly valued.  Dogcoins, DeFi, and NFTs have pulled in so much hype for the last 1-2 years.  As we see that fading, I expect we should see a more favorable xmr/btc pair even if we see BTC rise.  I expect XMR could still rise with it, or at least hold up better than the rest of the alts.

I mentioned that I feel like "privacy" is a rising buzzword.  But I also think we may also see BTC and ALTS decouple a bit as ETH starts to fall apart and people look to the leader for value storage.  So this could be good or bad, but I am thinking we at least hold up better than the rest of the field.

[tokeweed]

^  Privacy ain't not gonna be no buzzword once users really understood what's at stake here.  It's a basic human right as the real ones in the Monero community always firmly address.  I think crypto should always have that reminder.  And it's important that XMR should exist in case they fuck up BTC.  Imagine a scenario when BTC becomes so mainstream it becomes the banker's coin...

And I get that a lot of people want the new stuff.  It's where they can make a lot of money and get their dopamine rush.  Lol.  I guess it's their way of gambling like how we like gambling in poker, sports or what have you.
